Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 large sweet potatoes, washed and scrubbed
Seasoning & Toppings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Slice sweet potatoes: Cut the sweet potatoes into ½-inch thick rounds to ensure they cook evenly and get a nice roasted texture.
- Toss with seasoning: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika ensuring each piece is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Place the seasoned sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet for even roasting.
- Roast: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the rounds halfway through to achieve tenderness and a golden-brown crispy exterior.
- Cool slightly: Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly so the toppings won’t melt or become too runny when added.
- Assemble and garnish: Arrange the roasted sweet potato rounds on a serving platter. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese generously over the top, then drizzle with honey. Finish by garnishing with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
- Serve: Serve the dish warm or at room temperature as an appetizer, side, or snack that beautifully balances sweet, salty, and smoky flavors.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, use a wire rack on top of the baking sheet so air circulates around the potatoes.
- Adjust the amount of honey to taste if you prefer more or less sweetness.
- Smoked paprika can be substituted with regular paprika or a pinch of chili powder for a spicier kick.
- This recipe is great for meal prep and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the oven or toaster oven to maintain crispiness instead of the microwave.
